You need to select a board name from this list:

Comedi depends on fully configured headers, including stuff only
configured when you run 'make modules' (if CONFIG_MODVERSIONS is
set), as well as the top-level Makefile and the stuff it depends
on (Rules.make, arch/${arch}/Makefile, etc.).  If all of this is
provided and is correct, then Comedi should work fine.

As an aside, I'm considering rewriting the scripts that Comedi
uses to detect kernel features, and make it somewhat pluggable,
so that it is easier to use non-standard kernel sources.
